Re: Stus-List Stove

[Bill Bina via CnC-List]

There is a reason that although there are plenty of non-pressurized stoves still made, nobody makes pressurized models any longer. They have a bad track record. Companies do not want to be sued for making and selling a product known to be problematic. That is the bottom line. BoatUS has written about the problems. Pressurized alcohol stoves are responsible for more than their fair share of boat fires when compared to all other stoves, and fire safety in general. This is not a secret that I am revealing for the first time from a mysterious cave in the mountains. :-) Bill Bina On 3/6/2015 10:16 PM, John Irvin wrote: Alcohol stove fires can easily be extinguished with water Surely a plus.

They go strictly by the numbers, and those stoves have a very bad track record for claims. It is one of the "hot" items they look for in the insurance survey. The other issue with alcohol is that the flames it makes are virtually invisible, which can also lead to unintended consequences.

I have been trying to get the original Hillerange two burner pressure alcohol stove working, and it scares me. One burner lights, flame is blue but not adjustable. The other sounds like a jet engine and burns about 8" high. Made an easy decision to scrap this. Any suggestions about a new stove top would be appreciated John from Enterprise
